Day 1: Redemption Rye Whiskey

Day 2: Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch Whisky

Day 3: Prichard's Rye Whiskey sample from Flaviar.com

Day 4: Zudiam Rye Whisky, sampling provided by Flaviar.com

Day 5: Sazerac cocktail using RedemptionRye whiskey, Obsello absinthe rinse, Angostura aromatic #bitters and a hint of Scrappys Bitters Lavender. Simple. Delicious. Proper.

Day 6: Cold brewed some imported Oregon CycleTown Coffee Roasters coffee mixed with a pinch of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and a spoon of Mexican vanilla. I then hit a sugar cube with a few dashes of Angostura bitters and Scrappys Bitters lavender. Finally, I added two fingers of Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch Whisky, and now I'm sitting pretty with my attempt at a Legitimus Cocktail. Good effort.. all I need now is an ice ball.

Day 7: Redemption Rye Whiskey and an iceball.

Day 8: Legitimus cocktail spinoff with friends and games.

Happy birthday, Rachel. I'm doing my best to live it up for the both of us. Cheers, mate! #RRKS

Day 1 - Doing it up proper by sipping MonkeyShoulder Scotch, while watching ‘Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and ‘Snatch’… All in honor of the late, great RRKS.

Day 2 - Monkey Shoulder and ’Rock N Rolla’ the tele.

Day 3 - If you haven’t tried the $10 Scotch Whisky from Trader Joe’s, do yourself a favor and snag a bottle. It’s pretty damn tasty! Sipping that stuff and snacking while watching Kill Bill.

Day 4 - Monkey Shoulder Scotch and Inglorious Basterds while I work at my desk. I’ll definitely need to be adding some variety to the honorary sipping for this weekend.

Day 5 - Getting silly with the brain freeze straw, whiskey, ginger beer and snacks.

Day 6 - Angel’s Envy Bourbon. Front end burn like Bulleit, back end flavor like Basil Hayden. Tasty, indeed. Not to mention, it’s the whiskey of the month here at Double Helix.

Day 7 - Sipping Johnnie Walker Black Label Scotch and listening to the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack on vinyl.

Day 8 - Happy birthday, rrks. Tonight, I’ll drink proper with enough for the both of us. Monkey Shoulder, Black Label and some tasty Trader Joe’s scotch shall be consumed. Cheers, mate!
